Allocations from the EU’s proposed recovery fund should be based on the downturn in countries’ growth due to the coronavirus crisis and not on the basis of their past economic performance, according to Czech PM Andrej Babis. “We will see the impact of the pandemic next year and this impact will be mainly in GDP. So this should be the most, the biggest criteria,” he said on Friday on arrival for a summit of European Union leaders in Brussels to discuss a joint recovery plan. The Czech Republic “was one of the best on unemployment, one of the best-concerning debt to GDP and also we have growth – and it is not possible to penalize successful countries because they were successful,” Reuters quoted him as saying. “Money should be distributed correctly and fairly,” the PM added. “The approval of the agreement and the EU budget for the next period is positive news for the domestic economy, as the total amount of money allocated to the Czech Republic will be higher than proposed in the original plan,” said ING Bank’s chief economist Jakub Seidler. According to Deloitte’s chief economist for the Czech Republic, David Marek, the adoption of the recovery fund, albeit in a compromised...
Set between 1968 and 1989, Havel focuses on former Czech president life from 1968 to 1989 when he was a dissident under the Communist regime and relationship with his wife Olga and friend Pavel Landovský. Havel is directed by Slávek Horák and starring Viktor Dvořák in the titular role. The tagline of the movie, „Co byste obětovali pro pravdu a lásku?“ (“What would you sacrifice for truth and love?“), comes from the former president’s personal motto. Havel will be released in Czech cinemas from July 23. Synopsis It’s the summer of ’68 and the young Czech playwright Vaclav Havel is enjoying the heady atmosphere of newfound freedom as the iron grip of Soviet repression gradually loosens throughout Eastern Europe. In Havel’s Prague, politics are as exciting as theatre, sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. Havel, though, is a comfortable and acclaimed playwright, and he’s determined to avoid conflict that might upset his world. He resists confrontation with the political authorities – led by the celebrated politician Alexander Dubcek – and he tries to carry out his romantic escapades without undermining his marriage to his beloved Olga. Havel’s fling with freedom comes to an abrupt and violent end when Soviet Russia...

At least 60 new Covid-19 cases have been linked to a party hosted in a club in Prague 2.
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has hailed the hard-won EU recovery deal as an important signal for the future of the alliance. The head of government, who pushed to downsize the grants part of the aid package and change the criteria according to which the money will be distributed, said the outcome would benefit the Czech Republic both directly and indirectly –by helping to revitalize the European economy.
The ongoing ramifications of the coronavirus have forced the cancellation of the 2020 Prague Half Marathon and Marathon this autumn but mass participation road races are beginning to return to the Czech calendar albeit on a small scale for the time being. Runners flowed into the check-in, showed their passports, got their start numbers, passed the security and boarded through the gate D6. Then the airport shuttle busses took them to the runway, but instead of entering the plane, they lined up at the start of a 5km Runway Run. 2,674 runners were lucky enough to secure their places in this sold-out once-in-a-lifetime event. They were split into different categories to abide by the public and health safety regulations. Categories included an astonishing Sunset Run on Saturday evening, or a sunny Breakfast Run on Sunday morning, with many of them joining 3km dm Family Run distance. Basically, runners were running with planes taking-off or landing over their heads. To spice up the excitement, RunCzech and the Czech Athletic Federation organized an Elite Run with a live broadcast on Czech National TV. Four Czech elite men and four women created mixed-gender relays in an exhibition race of 500-1000-500-1000 meters on the runway....

Behind the whole idea there is Filippo, originally from Italy but living in the Czech Republic for a very long time. “I, Denisa (his wife, ed) and our team cycled every cm of this country and are now happy to put all our knowledge at your disposal. We are creating a website where there will be five cycling loops with about ten stages each. Those loops cover all the nicest places in the Czech Republic,” says Filippo. “We have just launched the first one called Central Loop and we are going to launch the other four as soon as we can. We are already working on the second,” he adds.

Deputy Minister for Transport Adam Scheinherr (Praha sobě) denied that the annual pass for Prague City Transport will raise from the present CZK 3,600 to CZK 5,500, the news site E15 reported. The cost of parking would also go up. Scheinherr will suggest that the price would increase by CZK 1 per day, ie by CZK 365 per year. “In this way, passengers can cover the higher costs of the transport company in the following years,” Scheinherr says. “Only in ten years, the pass should become doubly expensive,” he added. “Last week, some politicians have chosen the most extreme option and scare Prague citizens. The annual pass won’t cost CZK 5,500 from 2021,” the deputy said. The price of an annual pass would thus increase by CZK 365 year-on-year from the current CZK 3,650 – to CZK 4,015, starting from January 1, 2021. In just three months during the coronavirus crisis, Prague Transport Company lost CZK 500 million in fares and expects to collect up to CZK 1.7 billion less from passengers in the whole year. On the contrary, costs had been rising before the crisis, mainly because of the drivers’ salaries. Prague City decided to reduce the annual pass...
Britain today stepped up the battle to defeat coronavirus with Oxford University scientists successfully completed the second phase of developing a vaccine. A coronavirus vaccine developed by the University of Oxford appears safe to use in humans and trains the immune system. The early-stage trial has found that the vaccine causes few side effects and induces strong immune responses in both parts of the immune system – provoking a T cell response within 14 days of vaccination and antibody response after 28 days. Trials involving around 1,077 people showed the injection led to them making antibodies and white blood cells that can fight coronavirus. The findings are hugely promising, but it is still too soon to know if this is enough to offer protection and larger trials are underway. “We are seeing very good immune responses, not just on neutralizing antibodies but of T-cells as well,” said Adrian Hill, head of Oxford’s Jenner Institute, in an interview. “We’re stimulating both arms of the immune system.” Although stimulating the production of neutralizing antibodies doesn’t prove a vaccine will be effective, it’s considered an important early step in testing. Results from testing in animals had already shown the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot provoked an immune response. One critical question...
